I had another tremendously privileged week as head of this fantastic school this week.  I learned about some very exciting work going on in Dosbarth Brenig. The children may have (we are just waiting on final confirmation) have sorted something very exciting for us all to enjoy. Watch this space! I can’t wait for them to be able to tell you.

As you know I have been banging the drum about the crisis of school funding for quite a while now. So much so I am meeting with the Minister for Education in Wales next week in Cardiff. I do this on behalf of our school, naturally, but on behalf of all schools in Wales. I will be joined by a colleague each from the secondary, special school and through schools sector. I hope that the plight of schools in Wales is heard.

I also had the immense pleasure of accompanying our Year 3 and 4 football team, and the Girls football team to the URDD football tournament in Ruthin. There is more on how well they did later on in this newsletter, but the fact is that some of those children had never played football before but did so, in a tournament, because they have developed, while being here, the confidence to give it a go. My word, what smiles they played with. That’s why we do this.
